[T3] So I was doing an oil change....

[Don Robertson]

He nevertheless has the right idea...  you should never leave old oil 
in an engine over the winter.  But I don't like the idea of ever 
leaving an engine with no oil, condensation might cause 
problems.  Put some el-cheapo oil in for storage, and change it out 
in the spring before you start it..  You can save the el-cheapo oil 
for the following winter if you like, if the engine isn't run with it in.
